public ImageReaderWriterSpi() Constructs a blank ImageReaderWriterSpi. It is up to the subclass to initialize instance variables and/or override method implementations in order to provide working versions of all methods.

Methods Summary
public java.lang.String[]	getExtraImageMetadataFormatNames() Returns an array of Strings containing the names of additional document formats, other than the native and standard formats, recognized by the getAsTree and setFromTree methods on the image metadata objects produced or consumed by this plug-in. If the plug-in does not handle image metadata, null should be returned. The set of formats may differ according to the particular images being read or written; this method should indicate all the additional formats supported by the plug-in under any circumstances. The default implementation returns a clone of the extraImageMetadataFormatNames instance variable, which is typically set by the constructor. return an array of Strings, or null. see IIOMetadata#getMetadataFormatNames see #getExtraStreamMetadataFormatNames see #getNativeImageMetadataFormatName return extraImageMetadataFormatNames == null ? null : (String[])extraImageMetadataFormatNames.clone();
public java.lang.String[]	getExtraStreamMetadataFormatNames() Returns an array of Strings containing the names of additional document formats, other than the native and standard formats, recognized by the getAsTree and setFromTree methods on the stream metadata objects produced or consumed by this plug-in. If the plug-in does not handle metadata, null should be returned. The set of formats may differ according to the particular images being read or written; this method should indicate all the additional formats supported by the plug-in under any circumstances. The default implementation returns a clone of the extraStreamMetadataFormatNames instance variable, which is typically set by the constructor. return an array of Strings, or null. see IIOMetadata#getMetadataFormatNames see #getExtraImageMetadataFormatNames see #getNativeStreamMetadataFormatName return extraStreamMetadataFormatNames == null ? null : (String[])extraStreamMetadataFormatNames.clone();
public java.lang.String[]	getFileSuffixes() Returns an array of Strings containing a list of file suffixes associated with the formats that are generally usable by the ImageReader or ImageWriter implementation associated with this service provider. For example, a single ImageReader might be able to process files with '.pbm' and '.pnm' suffixes, or both '.jpg' and '.jpeg' suffixes. If there are no known file suffixes, null will be returned. Returning a particular suffix does not guarantee that files with that suffix can be processed; it merely indicates that it may be worthwhile attempting to decode or encode such files using this service provider. return an array of Strings or length at least 1 containing common file suffixes associated with this reader or writer, or null. return suffixes == null ? null : (String[])suffixes.clone();
public java.lang.String[]	getFormatNames() Returns an array of Strings containing human-readable names for the formats that are generally usable by the ImageReader or ImageWriter implementation associated with this service provider. For example, a single ImageReader might be able to process both PBM and PNM files. return a non-null array of Strings or length at least 1 containing informal format names associated with this reader or writer. return (String[])names.clone();
public javax.imageio.metadata.IIOMetadataFormat	getImageMetadataFormat(java.lang.String formatName) Returns an IIOMetadataFormat object describing the given image metadata format, or null if no description is available. The supplied name must be the native iamge metadata format name, the standard metadata format name, or one of those returned by getExtraImageMetadataFormatNames. param formatName the desired image metadata format. return an IIOMetadataFormat object. exception IllegalArgumentException if formatName is null or is not a supported name. return getMetadataFormat(formatName, supportsStandardImageMetadataFormat, nativeImageMetadataFormatName, nativeImageMetadataFormatClassName, extraImageMetadataFormatNames, extraImageMetadataFormatClassNames);
public java.lang.String[]	getMIMETypes() Returns an array of Strings containing a list of MIME types associated with the formats that are generally usable by the ImageReader or ImageWriter implementation associated with this service provider. Ideally, only a single MIME type would be required in order to describe a particular format. However, for several reasons it is necessary to associate a list of types with each service provider. First, many common image file formats do not have standard MIME types, so a list of commonly used unofficial names will be required, such as image/x-pbm and image/x-portable-bitmap. Some file formats have official MIME types but may sometimes be referred to using their previous unofficial designations, such as image/x-png instead of the official image/png. Finally, a single service provider may be capable of parsing multiple distinct types from the MIME point of view, for example image/x-xbitmap and image/x-xpixmap. Returning a particular MIME type does not guarantee that files claiming to be of that type can be processed; it merely indicates that it may be worthwhile attempting to decode or encode such files using this service provider. return an array of Strings or length at least 1 containing MIME types associated with this reader or writer, or null. return MIMETypes == null ? null : (String[])MIMETypes.clone();
private javax.imageio.metadata.IIOMetadataFormat	getMetadataFormat(java.lang.String formatName, boolean supportsStandard, java.lang.String nativeName, java.lang.String nativeClassName, java.lang.String[] extraNames, java.lang.String[] extraClassNames) if (formatName == null) { throw new IllegalArgumentException("formatName == null!"); } if (supportsStandard && formatName.equals (IIOMetadataFormatImpl.standardMetadataFormatName)) { return IIOMetadataFormatImpl.getStandardFormatInstance(); } String formatClassName = null; if (formatName.equals(nativeName)) { formatClassName = nativeClassName; } else if (extraNames != null) { for (int i = 0; i < extraNames.length; i++) { if (formatName.equals(extraNames[i])) { formatClassName = extraClassNames[i]; break; // out of for } } } if (formatClassName == null) { throw new IllegalArgumentException("Unsupported format name"); } try { Class cls = Class.forName(formatClassName, true, ClassLoader.getSystemClassLoader()); Method meth = cls.getMethod("getInstance"); return (IIOMetadataFormat) meth.invoke(null); } catch (Exception e) { RuntimeException ex = new IllegalStateException ("Can't obtain format"); ex.initCause(e); throw ex; }
public java.lang.String	getNativeImageMetadataFormatName() Returns the name of the "native" image metadata format for this plug-in, which typically allows for lossless encoding and transmission of the image metadata stored in the format handled by this plug-in. If no such format is supported, nullwill be returned. The default implementation returns the nativeImageMetadataFormatName instance variable, which is typically set by the constructor. return the name of the native image metadata format, or null. see #getExtraImageMetadataFormatNames return nativeImageMetadataFormatName;
public java.lang.String	getNativeStreamMetadataFormatName() Returns the name of the "native" stream metadata format for this plug-in, which typically allows for lossless encoding and transmission of the stream metadata stored in the format handled by this plug-in. If no such format is supported, nullwill be returned. The default implementation returns the nativeStreamMetadataFormatName instance variable, which is typically set by the constructor. return the name of the native stream metadata format, or null. return nativeStreamMetadataFormatName;
public java.lang.String	getPluginClassName() Returns the fully-qualified class name of the ImageReader or ImageWriter plug-in associated with this service provider. return the class name, as a non-null String. return pluginClassName;
public javax.imageio.metadata.IIOMetadataFormat	getStreamMetadataFormat(java.lang.String formatName) Returns an IIOMetadataFormat object describing the given stream metadata format, or null if no description is available. The supplied name must be the native stream metadata format name, the standard metadata format name, or one of those returned by getExtraStreamMetadataFormatNames. param formatName the desired stream metadata format. return an IIOMetadataFormat object. exception IllegalArgumentException if formatName is null or is not a supported name. return getMetadataFormat(formatName, supportsStandardStreamMetadataFormat, nativeStreamMetadataFormatName, nativeStreamMetadataFormatClassName, extraStreamMetadataFormatNames, extraStreamMetadataFormatClassNames);
public boolean	isStandardImageMetadataFormatSupported() Returns true if the standard metadata format is among the document formats recognized by the getAsTree and setFromTree methods on the image metadata objects produced or consumed by this plug-in. return true if the standard format is supported for image metadata. return supportsStandardImageMetadataFormat;
public boolean	isStandardStreamMetadataFormatSupported() Returns true if the standard metadata format is among the document formats recognized by the getAsTree and setFromTree methods on the stream metadata objects produced or consumed by this plug-in. return true if the standard format is supported for stream metadata. return supportsStandardStreamMetadataFormat;
